Benefits of studying an MBA: salary and employability 

We often hear questions about whether it is worth studying an MBA, and whether it will improve your salary and working conditions. It all depends on what you want to do in the future. 

It is quite likely that with an MBA on your CV you will secure very important interviews. But the most important thing is that you know how to apply all your knowledge in the development of a business. It's not just about memorizing lines and lines of text from books, rather it's about being a global leader, capable of offering effective solutions to real problems. And to do that, you need to have real contact with companies. 

As for salary, if you study for an MBA, it has been proven that professionals can improve their salary by up to 125%, according to a report by the Financial Times. Of course, it will always depend on how well you apply the knowledge acquired in the Master's program to the company’s daily life. 

Note that demand for professional profiles with a Master of Business Administration has increased worldwide year after year, indicating that it will continue to do so. Employers know that students possess skills and knowledge that shape them into professionals who are capable of making decisions, assuming responsibilities, working in teams, assuming leadership, and communicating correctly right from the start. All of these are essential skills for any organization, both now and in the future. 

Studying an MBA will be the gateway to your growth, your career, and, of course, your employability. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, projected employment growth in Business and Finance between 2020 and 2030 will be more than 8%, generating some 750,000 new jobs in various areas such as Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Investment and Development.
